From the record
What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Very heavy rainfall led to flooded roadways in Dania Beach and Hollywood. A total of 5 to 7 inches of rain fell across the area, with as much as 4 inches in an hour. Areas of standing water were two to three feet deep on some local roadways. This led to roadways becoming impassable and local law enforcement closing roads along US-1 and near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where the airfield had approximately 2 feet of standing water.
Nearly a week of moderate to strong onshore winds, culminating with the approach of hurricane Michelle, produced coastal flooding from Hollywood Beach to Hallandale Beach. The flooding was worst near the time of high tide and involved damage to sea walls and other coastal structures. Water flowed across the "broadwalk" and into some businesses. Beach erosion in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties during the entire event was moderate to locally severe. Beach renourishment costs are estimated at over $10 million.
Heavy rainfall across the region in the range of 6 to 8 inches of rain in 6 hours fell across the region. The heavy rainfall led canals and to overflow. Water pumps to drain canals were already at capacity. The overflowing canals led to flooding of roadways with some roadways in the region becoming impassable. Water entered a few structures, mainly caused by the wake left behind by passing vehicles.
